This guide "should" be applicable to most other versions of Apache 1. No guide for Apache 2 unfortunately, as I'm not a very big fan. In this example, we'll be using Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.6, MySQL. If new versions come out, you can improvise, read the README, Google, or whatever... but this guide is unlikely to be updated ever again. The more initiated of you may realise that a lot of the instructions come from the README/INSTALL files, but then again, nobody ever reads things that are named README. Maybe they should start renaming the README file to "HOT SEXY STORY".

First up, you'll need to grab all the relevant source distributions. THIS GUIDE DOES NOT DEAL WITH RPMs OF ANY SORT. Make sure you dump them somewhere you remember for convenience sake (I generally use /root/tmp and I will assume you do the same, otherwise, replace /root/tmp with your own dir). You can download the various source tar.gz files from the links below:
Apache - At time of writing: Apache 1.3.29
PHP - At time of writing: PHP 4.3.6
MySQL - At time of writing: MySQL 4.0.18

I generally start of installing MySQL since it doesn't require any referencing. Here's how to go about compiling and installing your source distribution of MySQL. NOTE: If things don't seem to work, YOU DON'T HAVE THE SOURCE DISTRIBUTION. GO AND GET IT. You will need to change the mysql-VERSION.tar.gz to mysql-4.0.18.tar.gz or whatever matches your current version.

Delete really lots of files

Sometimes rm command can't handle too many files.
Another neat way to do it is to try this:-



Replace * with the file names to match

It can be further tweaked to do recursive delete.

touch test; i=10; while ((i--)); do while [ -e test ]; do echo $RANDOM > /dev/null; done & done

i=x, where x is the load.
i=10 would generate load avg of 10
i=20 would generate load avg of 20

To stop, just rm -f test.

Simulate DHCP request without changing the physical IP on the eth (Testing DHCP service only)



-1 = do it one time
-s = dhcp server
-cf = config file
-pf = pid file
-sf = script file
eth1 = interface

If failed, returns exit code 2

Checking number of connection entries

One way to limit p2p is to install ip_conntrack modules and iptables connlimit modules.
connlimit module can block the number of connections that the end-user can get at one time, if you set it to 100, that means the end-users can only connect to 100 host at a time, which is fine for web surfing but for p2p, it is too restrictive.
connlimit will limit those ip_conntrack entries in ESTABLISHED state only.

To check the number of connections that an end-user has:

May I know whether should the Apache, PHP and MySQL sources be downloaded, compiled and installed onto only one single server?

Guide to setup a headless torrent box. - source: Build Media Server

How to install Deluge (v1.2.x/v1.3.x) headless on Ubuntu Server

Deluge is a great BitTorrent client that you can install on Ubuntu to allow you to share your favourite files with the rest of the BitTorrent community.

In the newer versions of Ubuntu, Deluge comes in two parts; the server (also called the daemon) and the user interface. This means you can install the Deluge daemon as a headless service and then control it from a remote machine. You can either control the daemon using the Deluge client itself (for example the Windows version of Deluge) or alternatively you can use your browser to control it. If you've not installed VNC and are running a purely headless setup then running Deluge headless is pretty much your only option! So, here's how you install it:

So, first off we need to create a new user called "deluge" and perform a couple more steps:


Install the Deluge Daemon and WebUI
Next we'll install the Deluge daemon itself:


Run the Deluge Daemon on startup
Now we've got the components installed we need to make everything run on start-up. So, let's create the first script we need by typing the following command in a Putty Session:



This will create and open a file called deluge-daemon
Next, assuming you're using Putty, highlight the following 5 commands, right-click on them and select Copy



*when using vi, remember to enter "INSERT" mode before pasting anything. Check the first line to see if anything missing[\b]
Toggle back to the Putty Session and press the [Insert] key once and then right click and the 5 lines we've just copied above will be pasted into the file.

Now press the [Esc] key once and type [B]:wq to save and quit out of the script. If you make a mistake editing the file then issue :q! instead of :wq to abort your changes.

Creating the "Init Script"

Now we need an "init script". This script is rather long but we can do some more copying and pasting to implement this script. So, type the following command in your Putty Session to create and open the script:



Next, highlight and copy this script

Toggle back to your Putty Session and press the [Insert] key once and then right click and the whole script you've just highlighted will be pasted into the screen.

*when using vi, remember to enter "INSERT" mode before pasting anything. Check the first line to see if anything missing

Now to modified the script a little to fit your needs.

From this


To this


To enable "https" connection:
add --ssl in


Anything else, please consult with deluge and deluged-web manual:



As before, press the [Esc] key once and type :wq to save and quit out of the script. If you make a mistake editing the file then issue :q! instead of :wq to abort your changes.

We now need to make this script executable. So:



Now we need to make sure this script runs on start-up. To do this type the following command:



Cross your fingers and restart the server by typing the following command:


or


Accessing Deluge via the web interface

You should now be able to access the Web front-end for Deluge by typing http://MyMediaserver:9092 into the address bar of your browser where MyMediaserver is the name you gave to your server when you installed Ubuntu. Alternatively the IP address of the server works just as well.

You should now be presented with the Deluge login-screen. Enter deluge for the password and you should then see a screen similar to this (Note: This is access from Windows 7):



Accessing Deluge via the Deluge client

Open the /var/lib/deluge/auth to edit:



Which will show you this for first time access:



Add a user and password to the authentication file (this does not have to be your server's user/pass):



where the authentication levels can be obtain from Deluge Authentication Support

Assuming that you have enable the deluge-webui than access it through the webui. Click on the Preferences icon (the screwdriver/spanner) on the Deluge web interface and select Daemon, check the Allow Remote Connections and change the Daemon port: if necessary.



Run the deluge client. Click on the Preferences icon (the screwdriver/spanner) on the Deluge client and select Interface. Untick the Classic Mode than restart your deluge client.

You will see something like this on the new start of the deluge client:



Click on Add. Enter your deluge server IP address or URL and port number for the deluge daemon running on your server. Enter your username and password created previously in the /var/lib/deluge

Opening the correct ports on your router

In order to start downloading Torrents you need to open up some ports on your router. If you click on the Preferences icon (the screwdriver/spanner) on the Deluge web interface and select Network, the Incoming Ports (the From: and To: ports inclusively) are the ports you need to open on your router. You can obviously change these ports if so wish, but make sure they match your router settings. Make sure you also uncheck the Use Random Ports option if you're going to be opening a specific port range on your router.

I'm not sure this right place or not.

Base on rule from what i understand, server will accept new 100 packet to httpd. What happen if packet more than 100?

All NEW connection will get rejected.

Packets are either ESTABLISHED, RELATED or NEW. So bear in mind that connection thats already ESTABLISHED will continue to be so.
